Okay go ahead and get the smart ass comments on record. I’m a big boy and I can handle it. 🤣🤣🤣
I am new here. I own a 2022 TRX currently. After lots of thought and careful consideration I placed an order for a 2022 Super Stock today. The reason I went with the Super Stock is likely not what you think. I will do very little actually track racing. I’m getting the car to have a fun weekend cruiser and maybe go to a few Mopar events… test and tunes ect… but overall the car will be a street car.

Here is the issue. In ordering the new 2022 Redeye Wide Body I was told by the dealer that you can no longer get the 3:09 rear gearing or the Laguna leather package. The only way to get these options is to order a Jailbreak at full price and no guarantee that I will actually get it due to the low allocation.

My only option was to get the 2022 Super Stock or do without the gearing package and add myself and settle for the Alcantra interior. Not my choice. Hence ordering the Super Stock.

My question is this. Have any of you guys run the factory Red Eye wheels and tires on the car for daily driving and kept the drag radials specifically for track days? If you have how do like this option. I plan to see if this will work in my case and was simply wondering if anyone else has done the same and can share experience.

Most people buy a 2nd set of wheels/tires, but end up running DRs all the time if it is not a daily driver. Hard to bolt zero traction back on lol

Super Stock

It's kind of a strange way to put the question, the SS comes with the 315 Drag Radials w/o option for All Season like the other trims. I am assuming you meant buy another set of tires for the street and keep the Drag radials for weekend tracking?

Not many SS out there yet.

I suspect I’ll end up with an extra set of wheels/tires to swap out. Just don’t know yet.

I thought the 3.09 was optional on the JB. Wait your looking at REWB. Packaging is tough. They want the JB upgrade.

Chrysler musta developed that car for the Chevy guys

It’s like John Force putting some stickers on the body and referring to his AA/FC as a Camaro or a Mustang

No John, we all know it’s a Mopar : )

20" drag radials only get you so far. I would buy a set of 17" rears for weekend activities, more sidewall !

Yes. I previously owned a modded 850HP Corvette with drag radials. I never drove it in winter or rain due to feeling like I was on ice skates due to the drag radials. I intend to drive this car more often than just weekends and I was wondering if anyone ordered a set of stock 20's for normal day to day and kept the drag radials just for track use.

I don't have a Super Stock but will say that yes, some have done that. Also the same with Demon. In fact, FCA even offered a factory 20" tire and wheel package already balanced and mounted so Demon owners could drive on the street and save their drag radials. Don't know if that option still exists as I haven't seen anything on it in a while.

Thank you. That is the answer I was looking for I guess. FCA currently does not offer a 20" option for the Super Stock.

And I should say that Demon didn't either, it was available through the dealership parts department but it had a part number and not a bad price.

If you just want cheap street wheels and 275’s (it won’t hook on the street no matter what street tire you run anyways) these are on clearance 129 each at race star

I would something better than the Pirelli's something maybe just one step down from a drag radial. I guess I will have to do a little research.

A drag radial will get you better traction on street or strip against a 275 stock tire. Most of us know this from experience. No, you will not wrinkle a side wall, but it will get off the line quicker. On a daily, don't do it, but most of us do not daily these cars.
